Dudleya candelabrum is a species of succulent plant known by the common names candleholder liveforever[1] or candleholder dudleya.[2] Endemic to California, this species grows wild only on the northern Channel Islands, where it is found in open rocky places and north-facing slopes. It is characterized by thin, spade-shaped green leaves and an inflorescence covered in long, reflexed bracts, with pale yellow flowers. It has been threatened by poachers shipping plants to South Korea.[3]
